About

Family-friendly public pool featuring a giant waterslide, lessons, diving boards, lap lanes and spa jets.

Specific pool temperatures for the Sam Baca Aquatic Center are not consistently published on general information pages. However, public recreational pools of this type are typically heated and maintained at a comfortable temperature, commonly ranging between 80-84°F (26.7-28.9°C), to ensure an enjoyable experience for all patrons across its various programs and activities.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The aquatic center is highly regarded as a valuable "gem" and a "definite must" in Deming, especially given the extreme heat and limited recreational options. It offers a variety of attractions for all ages, including a large fun slide, a shallow kiddie pool, a 13-foot deep pool for diving and exercise, a hot tub, and a therapy pool with ramp entry (popular for water aerobics). Lap swimming is also available. Patrons appreciate the comfortable lounge areas, covered seating, and active lifeguards who ensure safety. While overwhelmingly positive, some minor criticisms include occasionally hazy water, a scarcity of chairs during peak times, and the lack of on-site food or refreshments. There's also a desire for the town to accelerate the development of other recreational projects and consider adding more indoor game options like foosball or ping pong.

The nephews Had a great time! A large fun slide. Kiddie area. Life guards seemed to enjoy their jobs. Water was a bit hazy. However I have been to worse. There's ample area to lounge. At peak times there's not enough chairs and lounges. It's nice to have them they are comfy. There's covered area. Bring cold plastic water it can get hot. No food or refreshments here. All in all for a small town very nice. Great afternoon for a few bucks a piece for your kids. Very needed with the extreme heat and lack of water sports areas. Can't wait for the FREE sprinkler park and new pond park. They really need to move faster been waiting for years. Urge your town council to move along. There's a need for recreation for families especially in the summer. Wish there was a place to play foosball or pool or ping pong.

We've been going here for 25+ years. I've always loved this place. You can host parties. It has a shallow pool for kids, a 13ft deep pool for diving and exercise, a hot tub, and a nice slide.

I went for the water aerobics class. The class is great! I felt like I got a good workout. I only gave 4 stars because the therapy pool was closed and I prefer the aerobics in the therapy pool where the water is warm.

Great for the kids. Lots of people running around so life guards always yelling "WALK!"
